Jl Saddle was returned at our expense a few days
ago. Jilt hough it had been properly boxed, it was
damaged by rats before being unpacked, according to
customer's letter. Of course this was no fault of ours,
but he got a new saddle just the same. Do you know
of any other firm who would have given him the same
liberal treatment? Why not buy your supplies from
a firm with whom it is a pleasure to deal? Jill

most of it, but no serious trouble has
resulted so far. The reform is the
result of a spontaneous determination
to correct a bad evil growing worse,
and check it before it results in some-
thing even more serious. And all the
towns interested are to be commended
for recognizing the evil in time, and
calling a halt without waiting for more
to be committed.

THE TOWN KILLED.
Yesterday was Sunday and as was
expected every saloon, joint and gam
bling house in town was closed as
tight as Dick's hat band—in a horn.
The blinds were drawn and every
crack and crevice was hermetically
sealed. The back doors were barred
and the gangways choked up with
boxes and empty barrels.
The stairways leading to tlie gam-
bling houses had notices posted in
them, "closed for Sunday,— habit-
ues at church."
There was not a sound nor a smell
escaped the premises, and not a sign
of life could be discerned. It seemed
like a mighty pall had settled down
over the old town and left it a life-
less. pulseless corps.
We did not think that it would come
so soon, although we had been warn-
ed to flee from the wrath to come.
God's prophets foretold it pending the
election and more than one pious crap
shooter prayed that the bitter cup
might, pass, and then voted as he
prayed; yet we did not believe it;
and bet our last chip on delay and
have lost.
It is too bad that a prosperous hap-
py town like El Reno should be kill-
ed by a transplantation of the blue
laws from Connecticut.
By next Sunday if things continue
as they have begun, it' a man kisses
his wife and babies good by before
he starts to church, he will in all
probability lay himself liable to ar-
rest for Sabbath desecration.

TOO FREQUENT.
Every week records from one to
three murders in Oklahoma. Hu-
man life is becoming entirely too
cheap. The juries of the country
should crack a few necks and the
courts order a few life sentences in
each county, and the thing will stop.
ALL BROKE UP.
The other day a nice appearing,
intelligent farmer secured a license
to wed the charming daughter of a
neighbor; the next day he again ap-
peared before Judge Phelps and the
happy smile and bloom had departed
from his manly features.
It was that old story oft repeated
about the rough road of love and ruts
of despond because the old folks
I won't mind their own business.
| The fair one had been won against
him and he was not only out the bliss
of a matrimonial honey moon but also
the price of the license.
The Judge just thought how that
sort of a break would only, a short
time ago. have left him stranded on
the shoals of bachelorhood and dug
up the dough.

he owed it to the bank und he would
not have it. Mr. Bellamy said, 'All
right. I will give you credit for $100."
Mr. Patterson started to count the
$.'{,400 and was scattering it about the
counter and Mr. Bellamy took him in
the back room to a private desk and
gave him full possession but he made
no progress counting the money. Doe-
tor Roberts and others came in and
then concluded Patterson needed the
care and attention of the officers and
Chief of police McCartney escorted
him to the county jiil. This is a
peculiar and extremely sad case and
cannot be accounted for except upon
j the theory that he he had too much
j money.
BARBERS CONCLUDE.
join in the good work of early close-
ing and take time for recreation and
rest.
There is a movement, on footto close
all barber shops at 7:30 P. M., except
Saturday and we trust everybody will
cheerfully fall in with the practice.
If we all practice a little self denial
brotherly kindness and justice to our
fellows all the movements now on
foot to lessen the hours of labor for
our young people and the good effects
will be apparent in less than a month.
We are glad that the barbers have
taken a hand and their patrons should
take special pains and delight in as-
sisting by attending to their tonsorial
necessities at. a time that will not
interfero with the new arrangement.
Let us help each other and wo will
not only bo happier but will profit
in many ways.
Sweet Music.
There in no private enterprise ex
c«pt the newspaper which gives i«
the city a better name abroad than a
competent well organized band. Tb**
city which can furnish the host bat*
is always the best advertised and th*
advertisement is always favorable
There is in the human mind and heart
a natural desire for music and all
men feel that a community which d<
lights in its elevating presence jhis-
sosses a high degree of clvlllzatios
and it attracts the very best class oi
immigration.
A good band is more to our people
than an advertisement abroad, in it
we find pleasure ami personal profit
its public and private concerts and
oven its practices give pleasure and
delightful entertainment and every
citizen feels a sense laudible pride in
a first class musical organization.
El Heno is specially favored with a
high degree of talent in this direction
its entire band being composed ot
accomplished musicians who are
bending every energy to equip them-
selves with the very best instruments
manufactured in the world.
Last night five new instruments
arived from the Boston musical com
pany and they are beauties, compris
ing the following; E flat bass, tubor,
slide tromhos usd tenor.
The boys tested them thoroughly
at the practice later and pronounced
them the best they had ever used and
the finest in. use any where.
Tho value of these? instruments is
away up in tho hundreds of dollars
and the members of the hand aro go
ing down in their own pockets after
the cash to pay for them, without ask
ing any donations from any one.
From timo to time they will give
entertainments at which the public
will get value received upon tho spot
besides the free concerts which come
in as a sweet relish on the side. The
Democrat believes it tho duty of
every good citizen who can to patron-
ize every entertainment given by the
band and feels quite certain it will
be a heart felt pleasure to do so. Let
utf manifest our appreciation of the
boys efforts and our reward will be
au hundred fold.
Women in Blue.
Last Saturday night, the Womans
Relief Corps gave an entertainment at
the G. A. It., hall for tho benefit of
that grand order and it was attended
by a multitude of our good people
among whom were many ex-Confeder
at.es, their good wives and daughters
"The Old Maids Tea Party," was a
delightful feature and brought forth
rounds of applause. Rev. Rippey,
and Major Stevens delivered brief
and eloquent addresses which were
edifying and patriotic in sentiment
and the refreshments served filled a
want that made every body glad.
Every time we write about tho boys
and girls in blue or gray we want to
give them a whole page and then fall
short of their merit, but we are ap-
praised of the fact that space as well
as life is limited and must be cut
short.
We are glad to know that the re-
ceipts were highly satisfactory.
Tf it was not for the Land Office the
urb stoners would starve.
To Rob Farmers.
A new organization was effected
at Gil trie last week. It is called tho
threshers lodge.
This is an organization of threshers
The idea is to get all the threshers in
the territory into the lodge and thus
controle the pricefor threshing wheat.
It is a scheme against the wheat
raisers. It means to raise tho price
thousands of dollars on the farmers
this year, and future years, to be rung
from their hard toil.
It, is said that these men came out
of Oklahoma City Saturday where
they organized a lodge, with $1,200
of cash with membership fees. They
charge each joiner $12, for member-
ship. This is the amount each thresh-
er pays to get into the combine, to
hold up tho farmer.
This lodge is fostered—originated
—by the threshing machine trust. Its
primary object is to keep up the price
of threshing machines, and to en-
courage the sale of as many as pos-
sible. A high price for threshing will
make everybody want to get a ma-
chine. Thus the threshing machine
trust will reap a good thing. It can
afford to send these men over the
territory to organize these lodges
when in addition to the fat member-
ship fees the threshing machin sales
are greatly augumented
